Flamengo, who are three-time champions of the Copa Libertadores, also won the prestigious 'King of America' individual award, given by Conmebol to the continent's most outstanding players during the season. In the current squad, two players have already won this trophy: Gabigol and Pedro.
It is noteworthy that Zico, a legendary figure, lifted the cup on three separate occasions. Consequently, Flamengo stands out as the association with the greatest number of athletes shining as 'stars' among the ranks of Brazilian football.

It is essential to point out that the list mentioned concerns the 'King of America' prize awarded by CONMEBOL. At the same time, there is the renowned recognition attributed by the Uruguayan newspaper 'El País', which does not always align its choices with the perspective of the South American Football Confederation. A notable example is the year 2019, when the press vehicle elected Bruno Henrique as the best player on the continent, as opposed to the designation of the football association that appointed Gabigol as the holder of the title.

Flamengo held a training session at Ninho do Urubu on Wednesday afternoon (17) with the entire squad on the field. However, Pulgar, Jorginho and Alex Sandro are still doing specific work and will not be available for the game on Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.
Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar has returned to action on the pitch, but still needs at least two weeks to be cleared for the final phase of physical conditioning. He is recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, suffered in June.
Jorginho and Alex Sandro are also out of the squad . The Italian-Brazilian midfielder is treating a muscle swelling in his left thigh and is undergoing transition activities supervised by physiotherapists. The left-back, meanwhile, continues to recover from a left calf injury.
Without the trio, Flamengo should enter the field with: Rossi; Varela (or Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; De la Cruz (or Allan), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Bruno Henrique (or Pedro) and Samuel Lino.
